Does he make that "visit" on his own time???? Somehow I doubt he could do that in an official capacity. And if so, I would be happy to have him get off my property. BTW, are your cameras going to capture your fellow cyclists blowing through stop and yield signs, often as a pack? The very nature of cycling on the roads in TV is somewhat unsafe (as is driving any vehicle).
I have no problem with cyclists and no problem sharing the road, but the key to sharing anything is for all parties to follow the rules. Now if you are a cyclist, don't get your undies in a bunch over this statement, but it seems cyclists, at least those that frequently post on TOTV, are very adept a citing laws that apply to drivers of
other vehicles with regard to cyclists, but pick and choose which laws
they will follow on the road
